We opted for dinner at the Palm Restaurant on our first night, as we were staying at Ilala Lodge. It was the right choice! Wide variety of game specialties on the menu, as well as an extensive wine list. Service was excellent, as was the food. We watched 3 elephants at the water hole on the hotel grounds as we...

Under a thatched roof or on the terrace under the African sky you will be in a spacious dining area with an extensive menu showcasing lots of local produce. Deep fried Brie with a marinaded salad and roast quail were our chosen starters followed by ostrich steak and kudu Wellington, both very tasty and well presented with well cooked vegetables....

We tried out the Palm after walking in to the Ilala Lodge during our stay at Vic Falls (we were at the VF Safari Lodge).
We sat outside as it was quite warm enough and you can hear the Falls rumble in the background.
Started with a spicy beef salad and the crocodile frikadelle, as one does; then baked tilapia...

The dining room was elegant with high ceiling with doors opening out to an open area where you can see mist from Victoria Fall. We tried breakfast, lunch and dinner, all were cooked with very good ingredients and most important, creativity and care.

We live in Victoria Falls and get to sample all the restaurants around town and I can say with all honestly that currently The Palm, in our opinion is the best fine dining option...

We also didn`t really...

We were guests at Ilala Lodge for 3 nights, and experienced several meals there. Breakfast was included in our room rate and offered everything for most palettes. The pancakes were delicious. We also had lunch, which was also good. Dinner was a culinary delight with a variety of local type dishes. We all indulged and tried something out of our...

I ate already several times ostrich meat but never as tender as this evening ! The filet was cooked exactly as I requested and it ŵas prepared in a very original way with a sauce of truffle accompanied with vegetables. I drunk an African red Cabernet with it and all this for a reasonable price. The service was cordial, warm...
